Our History

The Nature Coast Friends of Blues, Inc. formed in 2007 after Jim Anderson,
owner of the Olde Mill House Gallery and Printing Museum and event organizer of the Blues ‘n Bar-B-Que called it quits.First time attendee Susan Mitchell saw the need to keep this event alive so, after a few
phone calls Jim set up an impromptu Saturday blues jam session in the Garden behind the Museum Café. By that afternoon, a
group of volunteers signed up to help get the association off the ground.Local attorney,
John Clardy helped us get our non-profit corporation status.Our success in 2007 allowed
us to donate $500 to the Key Training Center and a group of our volunteers provided help for their main fundraiser, “Run
for the Money” in 2008.In 2009, we donated $1000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs
of Citrus County and in 2010; our first Annual TEENSTOCK generated $700 for Big Brothers Big Sisters.In addition, in 2010, we earned our 501 (c) 3 non-profit status.Following
the 2010 Blues’n Bar-B-Que, we donated $1000 to Camp E Nini Hassee in Floral City.Our
2011 beneficiary for Blues’n Bar-B-Que is Hospice’s Camp Good Hope/Teen Encounter for children dealing with the
loss of a loved family member or friend.
